Catan GmbH is proud to announce that it has executed a very special license agreement with the Microsoft Corporation for the creation of the “Catan Online Game,” which Microsoft will publish in the Summer of 2004. Now the world of Catan will be only a mouse-click away! ... Available on Microsoft’s Premium Game Service, the Catan Online Game will be accessible via both the MSN Zone and MSN Messenger. There will be multi-player online and download variants, each with rich graphics and a sophisticated AI. You’ll be able to play solo or with up to three online friends knowing that the game can always provide a challenging opponent or replacement player… real or virtual .
Kurz: Microsoft wird das Catan online game in die MSN Zone und den MSN Messenger einbinden; Spiele gegen mehrere Gegner (wie in der BSW) werden moeglich sein.

Also das nenne ich mal eine Neuigkeit! :-) Ich bin mal gespannt, ob das den "German-boardgames" hier nicht einen deutlichen Schub nach vorne bringt.
Ciao, Oli
